The Jewel of Bodhi: Skillful Means for the Awakened Mind - Dhamma Talk by Ven. Ajahn Jayasaro

BUBS
Dec 19, 2025
On 18 Dec 2025, Ven. Ajahn Jayasaro explores the concept of Bodhi (enlightenment) by breaking down the wisdom, compassion, and inner freedom that define an awakened mind. He details the origin of his book title, Upalamani, using it as a linguistic bridge to explain how skilful means (upaya) and wise reflection are essential for transforming one's character. The discourse moves beyond negative definitions of Nirvana, instead highlighting the four Brahma-viharas and the practical application of the five precepts as anchors for mindfulness. Jayasaro emphasizes that meditation and thinking are not enemies but tools that, when balanced with effort and faith, allow practitioners to test Buddhist truths through personal experience. By cultivating qualities like healthy shame and moral dread, individuals can steer their lives away from unwholesome habits and towards spiritual maturity. Ultimately, the text serves as a guide for integrating the Eightfold Path into daily life to achieve a clear, purified, and compassionate state of being.
